Preparation Directions

BEAT brown sugar, shortening and molasses in large bowl at medium speed with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in egg. Add flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Beat until well mixed. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar. Place 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

BAKE 8 to 10 minutes or until tops are cracked and edges are firm. Immediately press a candy in center of each cookie. Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheets. Place on wire racks. Cool until candy is set, about 3 hours.

TIP To cool cookies quickly, place in refrigerator until candy is set.
